Episode 145: "The Darkness Within, Part 2": Oh where oh where has the USS Luna gone?  A strange computer program seized control of the Luna and charged up the deflector dish.  After its explosion of energy, the ship found itself in a slightly shaken state, but with a dozen missing crewmembers.  Where is the ship currently?  Where did those crewmembers go?  And why was Franklin carrying a phaser?

OPS-Montoya says:
:: Has taken over main OPS since Qui disappeared.  Checks shipwide systems ::
FCO_Sachs says:
::At helm, looking around the bridge::
CSO_Singh says:
::On the bridge.  Walks over to the captain with her report.::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Looks up at the CSO from his other reports from Engineering::  CSO: Commander Singh...
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  I am sorry... I don't really have much to offer you.  ::Hands him the report.::
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Sees that ship-wide systems are all up and running ::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Takes the PADD from her::  CSO: We need answers, Commander... ::Looks around to the other crewmembers still on the Bridge::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan has to get ahold of the last chip, he recognized it as a chip that was meant for him, but how did it get mixed up with the others?::
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  I have Silver down in the holodeck setting up a recreation of what happened here on the bridge.  She should be done soon.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Turns to the CIV::  CIV: Captain, do you have any observations, or answers to offer?
FCO_Sachs says:
::Hears the CSO and CO talking, but can't of anything to help out the situation::
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Looks over to the FCO ::   FCO: What exactly happened?
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: Nothing could from what i can see.   I think they are trying to figure out that same question. ::Motions to the CO and CSO::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Well Captain, I would believe that the insurgents are part of the Nacandarians outbreak and I also believe that they planted the chip to disrupt ship operations and to take control of the Luna
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: But we are not in Nacandarian space.  Would, then, our disappearance serve another purpose?
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Nods ::  FCO: I bet.  One minute I'm in the transporter room and then the next, I'm ordered to report up here.  Freaky!
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Places the communications earpiece into his ear and listens ::
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: What's freaky, is its like we haven't gone anywhere...but the readings don't make any sense.
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: I'm not reading and Starfleet communications, transponders, nada...
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Actually Captain they have free reign within Federation space. As for the disappearance so we could not call for help
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Nod ::   Neither am I
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CSO: And Mr. Singh if I may have the other chip?, as I believe that is meant for me.
OPS-Montoya says:
FCO: That's so true!
OPS-Montoya says:
FCO: I'm not getting anything either
CSO_Singh says:
::Looks at her captain questioningly::
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: So if there not there...we are either back before they excited...or some other reality? I guess that's a bit extreme
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Nods ::  FCO: Yeah...but that's a bit mind boggling, isn't it?   :: Scratches head ::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Nods to the CSO::
CSO_Singh says:
::Goes over to her station to retrieve the other chip, then returns, handing it over.::
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV/CSO/FCO/OPS: Opinions, then.  We saw Counselor Franklin and Mister Leadfoot acting against this crew... is it possible that Lieutenant Qui was also acting against our best interests?  Do we stay here and investigate, or go back to our known space?
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: If it has to do with time in any way, its going to be one big headache
FCO_Sachs says:
CO: Can we even get back?
OPS-Montoya says:
CO: I can't believe Qui would be a part of such a conspiracy...she doesn't seem to be the type...sir.   :: Says with disbelief in his voice ::
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: Neither would I have suspected Mister Franklin or Mister Leadfoot.
CSO_Singh says:
::Shakes her head::  CO:  I am almost certain that Qui was not part of it.  But then... I would have said the same about the counselor.  The difference being, I think I know Qui, where I had little interaction with the counselor.
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Also... do you have an idea how we might be going back to our own space?
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: The computer left no trace of its work?
FCO_Sachs says:
::Sits back and listens::
CSO_Singh says:
CO:  None at all.  Silver should be done about now.  Shall I head down to the holodeck?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I have viewed the backgrounds of both Qui and Leadfoot and there was nothing to indicate that they would do such a thing. But nothing is to say that Qui won't betray us like Leadfoot. As for the Counselor, I wasn't finished investigating him
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Receives message that the last of the ship's damages have been repaired ::
OPS-Qui says:
@<Qui>:: Is unable to focus her eyes. She feels sluggish, unable to move. She suddenly feels intense pain and hears her symbiont scream loudly ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: But if Mr. Singh can investigate the deflector dish frequencies, maybe she can ascertain where we are and how to get back
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: Check in with Silver, and see if you two can come up with anything.  CIV/OPS/FCO: In the meantime, I want information on where we are... and where to start looking for Lieutenant Qui
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Sends a message to the repair crews to stand down and praised them for a job well done ::
CSO_Singh says:
::Taking that as a yes, heads off the bridge.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I will need time to study and go over what's on the chip that I received
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Raises an eyebrow since he's forte is the transporter room ::   CO: Aye sir...   :: Looks over to the FCO with big eyes ::
FCO_Sachs says:
CO: We are in the same place, just have to figure out when
FCO_Sachs says:
CO: Or what reality...confusing
OPS-Qui says:
@:: Is unable to move; her feet and wrists have been bound. Is unable to discern what is happening to her. Can't make out what the strange aliens around her are saying ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: From what the FCO has pointed out Captain, I would tend to think that we have entered a rip distortion
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: A rip in what, though, is the question.
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Sits there scratching his head trying to remember something and thinks to self ::   Self: Can I go back to the transporter room, now?  Probably not....
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: We could check the starts to see if they match our last scans, to see if there is any change
OPS-Montoya says:
FCO: Isn't that navigations job?   :: Is a bit dubious cause he's never studied star charts or anything like that ::
CSO_Singh says:
::Stepping from the turbolift, she makes her way toward the holodeck and asks permission to enter.::
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: I'm just throwing out ideas ::smiles:: just want to know if you think it could work
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Scratches head ::  FCO: I don't see why not.  I'm never up here, so...I'm probably useless to help in that area.   :: Grins apologetically ::
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: Your doing just fine
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Grunts and makes a face ::   FCO: Thanks
FCO_Sachs says:
::Tries to compare there old scans with there new ones since the incident::
CSO_Singh says:
::Entering the room she pauses, briefly thinking she had stepped back onto the bridge.  A smile touches her lips.::  SO:  Silver, it is perfect.
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS/CO: Humm....
SO_Silver says:
CSO:  I hope so.  ::Holds up the chip.::  I have just to add this.  Ready?
FCO_Sachs says:
CO/FCO: Well the stars are where they should be, but there not all there .
OPS-Qui says:
@:: Hears a drill of some kind...then feels intense pain.  Screams out loud, her voice combine with the screams of her symbiont.  Passes out after a few seconds ::
CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Probably not.  But go ahead.  ::Walks over to the science station.::
FCO_Sachs says:
::Looks a bit shocks:: CO: Sir, Trills gone.
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Looks over quickly ::   FCO: The planet Trill?!?
SO_Silver says:
::Opening the side panel, this time not engaging any safety protocols, she inserts it and begins the encryption program, making sure the computer is recording everything.::
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: Well is there any other planer called trill?
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Can you explain?
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Grins at the FCO and shrugs ::   Self: This is unbelievable
CSO_Singh says:
::Waits.::
FCO_Sachs says:
CO: Explain what? Trill and its star system is gone.  just a void, like  its never been there. Comprende?
FCO_Sachs says:
CO: We just got a gravity well, so there was a star, sometime or another.
OPS-Montoya says:
FCO: You mean...there is just empty space?   :: Looks incredulously ::
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: Pretty much.
CSO_Singh says:
::As the ship begins to shake, she grabs onto the console, this time prepared  Her eyes go instinctively over to the empty command chair of this bridge.::
OPS-Montoya says:
:: His eyes go wide...like a doe in headlights ::    Out loud:  Wow!!!
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: umm we don't usually say ‘wow’ out loud like that on the bridge...
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Thinks to self ::   Self: Poor Kehari!
SO_Silver says:
::Raises her voice.::  CSO:  The computer is recording everything this time around.  ::Sits down suddenly lest she find herself flat on her backside.::
CSO_Singh says:
SO:  Everything?
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO/OPS: I'm curious if Qui's disappearance is therefore a result of this universe... where Trill does not exist?
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Looks over quickly to the FCO and blushes ::   FCO: Sorry...now you see why I don't work up here
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: Big mouth?
OPS-Montoya says:
CO: Um...that would be my guess
OPS-Montoya says:
:: As an after thought ::   CO:  um...sir
SO_Silver says:
CSO:  The program has decrypted the chip.  It is trying to connect to the reflector dish, only I didn't set one up in this mock simulation, so it is out of luck.
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: Just keep your voice down.  CO: If she was trill, she would have no place here
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Frowns and wishes he were back in the transporter room ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Have you ever hear of a Gaian barrier?
CSO_Singh says:
::Reads one of the panels.::  SO: I am reading the same odd frequencies... and have them recorded this time where they won't be wiped out... assuming they are the same.  ::Sighs::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Turns towards the CIV::  CIV:  No.  Please explain.
SO_Silver says:
CSO:  That's it.  The process has completed itself.
CSO_Singh says:
::Nods::  SO:  Accept for the stolen crew members.  I am going to take this to the bridge and see what the main computer can come up with this.  I want you to run the simulation a couple more times and see if we get the same data.
SO_Silver says:
CSO:  I will get right on it.
CSO_Singh says:
::As she leaves the room, something about the data nags at her.  She is missing something, or forgetting something.  The question was what?::
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Looks at his OPS console and sees everything, so far is cool ::
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: You going to be ok?
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Looks at the FCO ::   FCO: Oh...sure...I'll be...fine    :: Makes a face ::
CSO_Singh says:
::Stepping onto the bridge, she pauses before the captain.::  Of course... that is what we forgot.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Well it is an temporal distortion that cause a ship or being to travel through time, whether it be back in the past, in the future or an hour. The point being that even though we haven't traveled in the past, future, it may have caused us to somehow travel to unbeknownst part of space that we don't recognize
SO_Silver says:
::Begins the process all over again.::
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: If you cry, leave the bridge
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Looks indignantly at the FCO ::   FCO: Men DO NOT cry!
CSO_Singh says:
::Hands him the data PADD.::  CO:  This is not going to be complete.  Some of the data we need, requires the hook up to the deflector dish.  We don't know the power consumption, the charge, the exact modulating frequencies...
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: They do so! you should have saw my ex's eyes when i left him
Host CO_Savar says:
::Takes the PADD from the CSO while he considers the CIV's request::  CIV: I believe Miss Sachs calculated our position and date from the stars... there seems to simply be some stars missing, but the rest calculate at exactly where they should be.
OPS-Montoya says:
FCO: That's called being hurt.   :: Is still indignant ::
Host CO_Savar says:
CSO: Thank you, continue your investigations...
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: Its called being human. everyone cries
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Hrumphs ::   FCO: Whatever...   :: Hides a smirk ::
CSO_Singh says:
::Nods and walks away, considering how to set up a deflector dish without setting one up.::
OPS-Montoya says:
FCO: I just want my boss back so I can go back to the transporter room
FCO_Sachs says:
OPS: Well your mommy won't always be here to hold your hand.  Chin up, face forward, and stiffen up.  your an officer, you can't run off hiding.
OPS-Montoya says:
:: Laughs and sticks out his tongue at the FCO ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: It was only a suggestion, not fact.
FCO_Sachs says:
::Whispers:: OPS: Brat ::smiles::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
are we in a parallel universe?
Host CO_Savar says:
Valid suggestions... it might be somewhere to start investigating...
OPS-Montoya says:
